How often are physical readiness tests conducted in JROTC?

In the JROTC program, physical readiness tests are conducted once per semester. This schedule allows instructors to assess cadets' physical fitness levels in a structured manner without placing undue stress on students. Conducting the test once per semester enables cadets to set fitness goals and track their progress over time, leading to a better understanding of their physical capabilities and areas that may need improvement.

This frequency is also practical for integrating the test into the overall curriculum, providing enough time for training and preparation between assessments. Regular testing is beneficial for maintaining a focus on physical readiness, which is a critical component of cadet development and overall program objectives.
